A Police Officer Sits Down To Tea With A 2-Year-Old For The BEST Reason!
August 01, 2016
You'll Just LOVE The Reason For This Tea Party!
Several photos of a police officer and sweet little girl having a tea party have started going viral. And while the pictures are enough to melt your heart instantly, the story behind these pictures is even more powerful. You see, the angel in pink is the now 2-year-old Bexley Norvell. And the reason she lived to celebrate another year is all because of the angel in blue, Corporal Patrick Ray!

A year ago, Bexley was only 22 months old when she swallowed a coin and was unable to breathe. Just minutes before Corporal Patrick Ray arrived at the scene, Bexley was completely unresponsive. [rsnippet id="3" name="Article-Ad"] With two small children of his own, Corporal Ray couldn't help but to think of his own family as Bexley's terrified blue eyes stared into his.

And by the grace of God, he succeeded!"It was the most beautiful sound I'd ever hear in my entire life," he said about Bexley's cries once the coin was dislodged -- cries that meant she was able to breathe again![caption id="attachment_30271" align="aligncenter" width="650"] Credit: Chelle Cates Photography[/caption] Both Bexley and her mom, Tammy, have never forgotten their angel in blue. In fact, Tammy says,
"Whenever I do ask my children, 'what do you want to pray for?' Bexley always says Officer P. Ray."RELATED: 6-year-old boy prays for a table of police officers
One Year Later
And so, when the one year anniversary of that fateful day came, Bexley and Tammy wanted to celebrate in a special way. They decided to invite Corporal Ray to a special tea party, and hired professional photographer Chelle Cates to document the incredible reunion. [caption id="attachment_30272" align="aligncenter" width="651"] Credit: Chelle Cates Photography[/caption] Not only did Bexley get to spend some quality time with her biggest hero, but she also got to try something new -- her first Oreo cookie! (Her mom says she enjoyed every crumb!)

In light of all of the negativity surrounding law enforcement these days, she says:"I want people to have an image of the sweeter side."RELATED: Heartwarming photo of a tiny ballerina kissing her police officer daddy God bless the brave men and women who dedicate their lives to caring for their community.

Worrying does nothing to benefit our lives in any way; it only takes away. It takes away the present moments and present joy you could experience, not to mention it takes away from a peaceful life.
